Default Tourenn Bodykit

35oZephyr photochopped lowered with intercooler version. Thank you.




Hey here's an introduction to Tourenn. This is Dave's car on SSR wheels and no lowering springs. Car was shot by photoillustrators.com which did really great images.

Looks like they took the Nismo V2 and put some putty in there then recasted a new mold.

Rears are clean, Sides are ugly and Bumper could look great with some CF canards.

Only part I like is the rear bumper, which is very nice. Don't care for the sides or front at all. Wing looks like a chopped version of Veilside v2.

I don't like the front bumper at all. Sides are ok, but the rear looks good. I would definately mix this kit with others, probably only taking the rear valence and wing, and maybe using Veilside Version 2 side skirts and a JP Aero/ Vizage type A front fascia.

Thanks for your inputs. Every opinion helps shape our future products. The purpose of this kit is to look different but not too far extreme. So far many people who don't know much about cars don't even know that this is a bodykit. I must say the side skirts are the hardest panels to design. We might do another one once we get the idea. This kit was built off OEM panels. The front was Nismo inspired, but we made it a lot bigger. Here are some historical photos of this project.

The front bumper has a mesh grill with the kit. I don't have a picture of one installed on the car yet. The black beam on the top is the frontal impact beam, I would never recommend taking that off for safety and cost wise if an impact does happen.

The thing is, the bumper looks 'too' clean. It needs something to break the lines. Like a reflector lol. I actually like the kit. The sides and rear are what I like the most. The front is almost there.

I only like the rear bumper. Not feeling the sides at all. The front lip part should point down more.

ZlleH: Actually the front bumper lip angle has a lot of reasoning behind it. The lip angle comes up because if it's pointing down or flat, it will be destroyed on any high grade roads, dips, or steep driveways. Because of how it is angled you can't really see that it's coming up, unless you bend down to the ground and look it at. I made a lot of low clearance kits in my life and learned from that mistake, it makes the car undrivable for a daily. If you look at many OEM designs they also do the same thing except its not so obvious.

I understand your reasoning because the roads are pretty bad where I live, but I was still able to put on a nice lip and lowered my car 1 inch without me having any difficulty driving around my city. Oh, and my house has an angled driveway.

Here's my lip:

Edit: If someone where to make a one piece bumper with the oem front bumper and the lip I have molded, I'd buy it in a second (the lip is CF so I couldn't get it molded).
